My whole family is the protagonist, and I am the only cannon fodder!

That sunrise that did not come as promised was one of Lu Zaozao's deepest regrets for a long time. It made her feel upset and remorseful countless times in the middle of the night. The regret caused by her own reasons became a sharp blade to punish her.

She later found out that the other party didn't take it seriously and didn't even go.

It turned out that what she thought was a regret was not a regret, but the most insignificant and long-forgotten little thing in the other person's life - that's right, it should be like this, it should always be like this.

When the day of death came, after learning his true identity as cannon fodder, Lu had already figured out the reason.

So at the moment, Lu Zaozao was not used to being alone with Xie Huinian like this. She also knew very well that she was not qualified to do so. Forceful approach would only bring her unspeakable harm and pain - although the distance was already close now, and there was not too much discomfort and pain, but she felt a little weird in her heart, like an ant crawling over, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

But Lu Zaozao didn't want to repeat the same mistake, and day after day after her rebirth, she slowly gave up her former feelings for Xie Huinian.

Although this feeling still exists, it has gradually faded and disappeared under the constraints of fate and oneself.

She put the wait on the ground, took out the note from her pocket, placed it in front of Xie Huinian, and said calmly, "I have put the things by the door. Here are some things Aunt Li asked me to do. I have delivered the wait safely. If everything is fine, I will leave first."

Before Xie Huinian could answer, someone knocked on the door. Xie Huinian coughed and said, "Come in."

It was the aunt downstairs who brought in the hot tea she had brewed. Tea leaves were floating in the air, and the mist was curling. She asked Lu Zao to sit down early. "Miss Lu, you've been tired all the way. Drink some hot tea first. I'll go downstairs and bring up some fruits and desserts."

Lu Zao Zao waved her hand to refuse, but her aunt seemed not to notice and went downstairs to start working. Xie Huanian picked up the teacup and blew gently on the tea leaves floating on the water, steam overflowing. "Sit down, or you will say that the Xie family is not hospitable enough."

"No." Lu Zao Zao looked directly into Xie Huinian's face and said, "It's not too early. I have to go home. Next time, just have someone drop me off at the cat cafe in the city center. I'll send you the name of the store later."

Xie Huinian still had his head lowered, drinking tea slowly. The steam rising from the mist made his face blurry, making it impossible to see his face clearly or guess his expression. All one could see was his lips, which were red from being moistened by the hot water.

Lu Zao Zao lowered his head and touched Deng Deng's face, then quickly opened the door. The moment he stepped out, he heard Xie Huanian's slightly hoarse voice saying:

"I'll send someone off to you."

"No need, I've already called a car."

May 3rd was Li Jianan's birthday, and Lu Zaozao really hadn't decided what gift to give her, so she asked her on WeChat if she wanted to come to her house so that she could make her a birthday cake and then go out together.

I had learned some simple basic desserts from Aunt Li a long time ago, and now I can make some slightly more complicated styles. Although the appearance does not look very good, the taste is really good. Although Lu Zao Zao has thought many times that this must be a lie made up by Aunt Li to comfort her.

Li Jianan happily agreed on WeChat, and enthusiastically expressed her desire to visit Lu Zaozao's home and bedroom. Lu Zaozao didn't say much, but just asked her to be mentally prepared. After all, Lu Zaozao hadn't told her that she was the daughter of the Lu family, and a normal person would not associate a face like hers with the Lu family.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the photos and information about her that were circulated were very few, almost non-existent.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Zaozao had already asked the driver to pick someone up. After Li Jianan got off the car, she followed the driver all the way forward. As far as she could see were flowing water, lawns, and trees that covered the sky. It was so spacious and luxurious. When Li Jianan first met Lu Zaozao, she knew that she lived in a wealthy area where every inch of land was worth a lot of money, because she came here to pick her up, but she didn't know the exact location of her home.

When they arrived at the place, the driver left on his own accord. Lu Zaozao stood in front of a villa to greet her with a smile on his face. Li Jianan was stunned. Then she realized belatedly that there was no other person with such a prominent surname of Lu in the whole Lincheng.

Lu Zao Zao seemed to see through her doubts, nodded and said, "Yes, it's what you think."

"Fuck." Li Jianan grabbed her arm excitedly, then rushed over to hug Lu Zaozao, almost knocking her to the ground. "Zaozao, you are so awesome. I actually know such a powerful person."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head from Lu Zaozao's arms and said, "Then Shen Huaijin and Lu Shiqing are your biological brothers."

"Ah."

"Then, then..." Li Jianan hesitated, and became awkward when speaking, looking very shy, "Then can I meet them today?"

Since I entered high school, I have frequently heard these two names. One often appears in every corner of the campus and is talked about by people of all grades, and the other often appears in financial channels and newspapers and weeklies. The only thing in common is that they both have a bright and handsome face, a strong family background, and a mysterious personality. These points alone are enough to leave people with countless room for imagination.

"Not really." Lu Zao Zao bluntly punctured her beautiful dream, "My eldest brother is very busy. He is usually at the company and rarely comes home to live. Shen Huaijin... I don't know if he is at home. His behavior is always difficult to guess."

"Okay. Then maybe Shen Xiyan isn't here either. I heard she went to study at a university far away." Li Jianan seemed a little disappointed, but soon cheered up again. "Then your sister is here. I saw her perform at the New Year's Eve party last time. She was so cute and beautiful."

"Yes. Actually... maybe they are all here, but I'm not sure." Lu Zao Zao honestly told her the truth, "In fact, I can only see them a few times a year. I live here alone. I live alone."

"Why?" Li Jianan blinked in confusion and bewilderment.

"No reason, maybe because they don't like me very much. After all, you can tell from my appearance that I am very ordinary. Or to put it more bluntly, compared to the people of the Lu family, I am hopelessly vulgar."

I didn't feel embarrassed at all when I said these words to my good friend. I even felt relieved and at ease that I had finally said them.
